;5) Face to face with Ridley himself: Whether you came from the shaft on the far right, or you took the shortcut and fell from the corridors up above, the time has come for you to face Ridley and take him down. He certainly won't go without a fight. His only real attack is to jump up and down and spit a series of bouncing fireballs at you. These fireballs can block your missiles, so you need to stand very close to Ridley in order to hit him if missiles are your weapon of choice. Most players like to strike Ridley from a location that he has no defense against: below him.

Most players like to strike Ridley from a location that he has no defense against: below him. If you have the Varia Suit, then you don't have to lot to fear from the lava at the bottom of his chamber. It will probably do far less damage to you than Ridley would. If you stand beneath Ridley, aim up, and fire the Wave Beam at him, he'll take every hit. It will take a while to kill him this way, so continue to jump up and down to minimize the damage from the lava. With this very easy strategy, Ridley will be destroyed in no time, granting you an additional 75 to your missile capacity in the process. The door to the left is one of two very odd doors that require 10 missile hits to enter. Beyond it lies another Energy Tank. Head in here and grab it if things go very badly for you during the fight with Ridley. | ||
:Sometimes, the fireballs will bounce almost vertically, and sometimes they will coast a ways. If they are coasting, you can safely stand right next to him. You can also screw attack Ridley when he jumps for massive damage. Naturally this is a lot easier if the fireballs are cooperating. If they are bouncing vertically, then you must let them bounce about six times or so, then freeze them if you still have ice beam, before approaching. If you have wave beam, it's probably easier to just attack from the lava. | :Sometimes, the fireballs will bounce almost vertically, and sometimes they will coast a ways.
